A friend of mine brewed a batch of pumpkin porter about 2 months ago and has seemed to have lost interest in it for some reason...he told me if i wanted it i could take it and bottle it up but it has been sitting in primary fermenter all that time. Worth my time?

Ok thanks guys. Looks fine, no funny odors so i guess i'll bottle it up and hope for the best.
